Recovery is one of the most important things about any sport especially bjj that people including myself forget about a lot, after a long hard roll all you wanna do is go home shower and go to bed, but recently I’ve been noticing how much better I feel if I have a balanced meal that fully nourishes your body, electrolytes, and try to do some sort of cool down or stretches post workout, if you have access to a sauna that’s the best thing to do after a workout.
What does a good post roll meal look like? A good post meal workout consist of protein not that soy bean protein bull crap real meat, a small portion of fruit,and some sort of carb. For electrolytes you have to find something where the top ingredient is sodium alternatively you could put some pink Himalayan pink salt in your water. If you start practicing these I can gaurantee you will feel so much better and more well rested the next day, I’m still trying to implement this into my life as much as I can but it’s all just 1 step at a time
